What are you doing this weekend? I hope you have something fun planned. K and I are off without Maeve for the first time. I’m nervous, but deliriously excited too! We’ll be in Vancouver w...
Right now, I’m writing because I’m supposed to be doing that. I’m not supposed to be gorging on blueberry muffins, which is what I was doing approximately 5 minutes ago. It’s ...
I am in love with the above photos. K took them during a recent photo shoot. They’re so springy and inspiring! It’s just what I need to start the week. Well, that, and a few fun links. It...
Psst. Mother’s Day is this weekend. Here are some last minute card ideas. That’s all I’m going to say about that because there are fun things to share. I’m always a sucker for...
Hi there. Did you know Mother’s Day is coming up here shortly? Yes, it’s true. Mother’s Day is on May 13th. That’s this weekend! I imagine many of you are rolling your eyes ri...
I can hardly believe it’s nearly the end of April. The month got away from me as it so often does. I thought I had lots of time for projects before I leave for a short vacation. I was go...
I decided to do a list of things I love about Seattle. You have Ann to thank for this suggestion. This isn’t an exhaustive list nor is it a typical one. I figure you already know about Pike Pla...
I even remembered the snacks. It was a miracle because I don’t always remember the snacks. Sometimes, I forget the snacks, but remember to pack an extra pair of baby socks. Sometimes, I forget ...
It was a rough weekend. I’ll explain more later this week, but here are some links and fun pictures for a brighter Monday! I firmly believe anytime is a good time for chocolate. Learn how to ma...
Neither of us can remember exactly how it happened, but it was through the magic of the internet that we reconnected. And, the coolest part? We were not searching for other, but just found ourselves ...
What are you going to do with all those leftover eggs from Easter? Here are ome ideas. A gorgeous rainy springtime wedding in PDX at the Ace Hotel. And, speaking of my talented husband, he shot the a...
I like cake, but that is no revelation. Everyone likes cake. It’s like puppies. Everyone likes puppies. If you don’t, there is probably something wrong with you and you should stop readin...
We’re home and it feels so good. I missed this place despite the rain and gray skies. I still cannot quite get used to a rainy Easter, but it’s fun to brighten it up with pretty things. H...
The past month here in California was truly a whirlwind. Time passed so quickly and many of my grand plans slipped through my fingers. Mind you, such losses didn’t result from carelessness or o...
We’re still on the road so it only seems appropriate to do a travel themed list for you this week. I’m sorry I’m a little late with this one! xo A good book to read on the plane. T...
Do you have a small or independent business? Are you considering advertising on this very blog? Are you wondering whether you should? Well, while you’re looking at this page, hundreds of other people...
I am kicking myself. I forgot all about endives. How could I let this happen? I blame winter. Now that spring is upon us, the fog is clearing. I now realize I was in a food rut. I keep stumbling acro...
Hi all. I hope you had wonderful weeks. It was rainy in San Francisco, but we managed to have some indoor fun at the Academy of Sciences. Maeve loved it. Happy Weekend! I’m not much of a dog pe...
I’m in a new room right now. It’s nearly empty but for this computer and the table at which I’m sitting. It’s refreshing. It’s different. The only thing that is the leas...
Hello friends. Did you guess where we are? I’m so happy to be out of the gray skies. Let’s celebrate the week with some fun links. I am a true sucker for baby rompers and such. More cute...
If you were starting anew in a fresh kitchen, what would you take with you? What would you create from scratch? I am quite serious. I ask in earnest. Just imagine a kitchen that is empty. Oh sure, th...
This post is the first in a series I hope will be a long-standing one. I am calling it Cooking with Kids and I hope you will enjoy it. Once a month, I will invite a guest to discuss how he or she inc...
Please enjoy Monday. A wonderful conversation on being a mother and an artist. Don’t quit. Ira Glass on storytelling. My niece turned 20! Her darling boyfriend made her a gorgeous cutting boar...
I might boil a door knob if I thought Maeve would eat it. She’s an unpredictable sort who loves bananas one week only to systematically chuck every bit of banana off her highchair tray the following...
March is a great time to advertise on A Chow Life. The blog has fantastic hits, a loyal readership, and a growing base of new readers! Also, as the year progresses and seasons change, hits rise. It...
I love short weeks! Enjoy some links, dear people. A street art blog. I love it and I love street art. Kirk took the above pictures in the Mission District of San Francisco. Pretty fabulous. A beauti...
On most days, my little girl is very reasonable and a great partner in most domestic escapades. She loves a trip to the park or the bookstore. She doesn’t complain when we pop into a thrift sto...
What are you doing for Valentine’s Day? Anything fun? We are going out on Wednesday night to avoid the crowds. I’m not sure where we are going. It’s a surprise. Hooray for sweet hu...
I used to share office space with a woman who decorated her desk for the seasons. In the springtime, there were lots of stuffed white bears clutching colorful hard plastic eggs. At Thanksgiving, ther...
